Curb Your Tongue

According to the biblical writings of the Christian faith, , in the beginning was the word. Naming things and people is how babies remove themselves from the the matrix and auric influence of their mothers, and enter into the world of duality, of you and I, self and other. The illusion of separation begins to be established when we realize we are no longer floating in our mother’s womb and begin to see the world beyond our mother’s breast, and our own thumb more clearly. And it is with words that we attempt to create order in our lives. Words, thought, spoken or written can be tools of order or disorder in our lives. I will reiterate the idea of keeping in mind that a few well thought out words , well spoken, or written can bring many relationships; such a crumbling marriage, an estranged family, or a strained business partnership, back into alignment. By the same token, a few impetuous words spoken in the heat of anger during an explosive conversation can damage or even destroy a fragile relationship.

Words, thoughts & emotions are intimately connected. Whether originating from emotions or thoughts - words can also arise from spiritual inspiration or influence, be it negative or positive. Our stream of consciousness is an ocean of words on which we sail or in which we drown. Regardless of their origin, words must not be spoken without discernment & deliberation, for they are in fact thoughts and emotions & spiritual impulse, materialized into a more tangible vibration which can have an impact which is very direct and influential on others and on the world we live in.

When I use the phrase spiritual impulse I’m thinking of the word impulse as a concept of physics as well as a spiritual one. In physics an impulse is - a force applied on a material mass in relation to time. Thoughts & emotions apply a force on our psyche, or the momentum of the mental, emotional and spiritual progress of our psyche. Positive mental, emotional & spiritually influenced thoughts create an impulse (force applied over a period of time) which can accelerate our emotional, intellectual and spiritual progress, and on the very fabric of our lives. Negative diminishing thoughts can of course have the opposite effect over a period of time.

Think of football or the activity of a car. In football an offense player will have momentum as he’s running toward the goal. If he’s really heavy, powerful and skilled in avoiding being tackled, through most of his run towards the goal his force and forward motion will increase. It will take a defensive player with an equal or stronger force to stop him. We non football players can have a similar experience in our headlong approach to the many goals we set up for ourselves in our life. It’s important to supply ourselves and those we care about with positive encouraging inspiring words and support in order to enhance the chances, and possibly even secure the chances of goals, dreams and ambitions being achieved . By the same token discouraging, negative input can derail a person’s passion and enthusiasm and cause limiting self doubt and fear of failure. Notice the affect of the input of others in your life. Cull those who discourage and derail you. Be honestly supportive and inspirational to all you encounter. Never dim another's light, or allow your to be dimmed.
